Crap Throwing Monkey Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Didn't they announce a week ago that they ADDED 3 planets? 750717[/snapback] They added one, and decided the asteroid Ceres was actually a planet (just like it was back in the 1800's, before it got demoted). And they may have decided Pluto's moon Charon was in fact a planet in and of itself (not an unreasonable decision, for orbital center-of-mass reasons). But then they decided to add a third group of "sorta-but-not-quite-planet-thingies", and lump all those in to it. It's basically to appease the complainers saying "But Ceres and Charon really aren't planets!" It's all politics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cugalabanza Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 There's the little guy You know, my brother has been known to travel in some eccentric orbits, especially after a few drinks. You think that makes him not my brother anymore? Say no to revisionist planetary semantics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary M Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 You know what, I'm sick of these astronomers always pushing me around, with their fancy rules and outer-space semantics. Guess what, mutherf&*#ers, in my house Pluto is still a planet! And there's nothing you can do about it! !!!!!!!!! 750709[/snapback] My kids will have to learn a whole new song. http://www.naoj.org/staff/kumiko/Outreach/...planetsong.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Here's what I have to say about this, WHO CARES! It was a semi-planet. No one knew if it was a planet for over 70 years. Now they say it's not, big deal. The only real interesting thing here is that they might have found a planet the size of Earth past Pluto. Might be the 9th planet soon.
